Customizable Challenges (like start date, duration etc)

[Cheddarbill]

I would like to be able to set which days I want for a challenge. Not all of my friends work a workweek (Mon-Fri). I would like to be able to make a challenge thats like Thurs-Sun or Mon-Wed-Fri. Or whatever days my friends work during that week. Choose teams and partners.

Once the winner of an adventure challenge finishes the route, the rest of the field only gets 24 hours to complete it before the challenge closes.  If there is a jackrabbit in the group, most of the other players don't get a chance to finish the course.  Closing the adventure 48 hours after the 1st player completes it instead of 24 hours would give mere mortals a more reasonable amount of time to finish what they started.

Hi

Just wanted to make a Fitbit challenge suggestion. I know there are a few short duration challenges on the app (eg. Work Week Hustle for 5 days). These are nice challenges but the durations are way too short. I was wondering if it would be possible to develop a longer duration challenge, say a whole week, two weeks, a month or even longer. I feel this would get people more active, and create fun competition among friends, along the lines of the Global Corporate Challenge.

Thanks

In Middle east, the weekend is Friday and Saturday, and the work week starts on Sunday, Can you please make the weekday and weekend challenges more dynamic to match with our calendar?

[RunningRonnie]

Yessss! We need this! I'm trying to hit 5,000,000 steps by the end of the year (because I just got serious with my steps this month), but I have to just keep track on a sheet when I feel like it would be so much easier to create either my own personal challenge or a large challenge for something of that nature! Please FitBit! Help me frfr! 

[GardenMom777]

Love ❤️ my Fit Bit! Am super bored with the challenges. Could you make us race in a new place or one in every state?

[tabernarious]

I haven't read all 1000+ comments but being able to create a custom challenge would be awesome. I regularly attend dance workshop weekends which start 9pm Friday and end 5am Monday. The Weekend Warrior challenge cuts off at least 8 hours of dancing 😞

I just submitted a similar suggestion on Twitter. How hard can this be? Come on FitBit.

[SunsetRunner]

Activity club has it and will sync with fitbit

Yes! having a 2 day, or 3 day, or 4 day challenge any day of the week not just weekend or week specific would be amazing!

Just like now how there is goal day and daily showdown...what if there was goal day 2 day or 3 day or 4 day-where goal is to hit it all those days!

Or a showdown 2 day, 3 day or 4 day etc if you want to have more of a competition then just goal day. Would be awesome : )

I personally am not much of a jogger/runner, and would love to see custom challenges for different areas of exercise. For instance, my friends and i often go hiking and it would be cool to set a hiking challenge to see who can hike further, just for one day, but with up to a month to complete because we can't always all hike on the same day or in the same week. 

It would also be awesome to see other challenges such as cycling competitions or weight lifting competitions, in the same fashion as listed above - being able to set a goal for a certain amount of time or for the whole day, to see who can burn more calories or go the furthest distance - and not have this be a today or tomorrow time limit, but one to be accomplished for the month. That way we could even challenge each other to bike twice a week and weight lift twice a week for each week during the month. Combining challenges like this would be fantastic and a great way to get friends involved more with each other and motivate each other to be active and healthy. 

Thanks for reading!

Would love custom challenges, not only for myself but to set against coworkers and friends. 

This would be where you can set your own timeframe and whether its steps, active mins, floors etc. 

[Druhue]

There are endless requests for increasing he number of people for challenges past 10 for YEARS. You guys are pathetic and if you even read these comments, you’re ignoring your community who buys your products. Worthless. 

[BarbaraaF]

It seems that a lot of us want to be able to set up our own challenges but unfortunately Fitbit don't want us to do this or I think it would already have been created by now.  Its a shame as I think it would keep people interested and not loose faith in Fitbit.

[Natzo]

Would be great for custom challenges where we can enter steps, distance (miles or km), type of exercise, amount of days etc

I've seen several requests for having custom date ranges for challenges, but what I would really like is to be able to set a group challenge that is a specific time frame e.g. "Lunchtime Race"

The custom challenge screen could allow users to set a start and end time for their challenges. This would particularly be fun for group gatherings such as reunions and parties.

[Meg2131304]

I think it would be a great idea if we could make groups in the challenges that we could save and name them so that way every weekend we just click that challenge and it loads with the same people and they can accept or not. We do a huge group one at work and I would love to name it our work name and have more people join & it be easier to just click rather than going through all my friends and finding each person! Thanks! 

[BarbiRose]

I like that!  I was at a conference last week and we were talking about a conference challenge for people at that location.

At work we have a year-long million steps challenge, to be completed August 31 of next year.  I would like to track it on my fitbit.

[emmaird]

I want to set up my own goal in number of steps.

Say I want to run 1 000 000 for a certain goal.  

Then I want to set a challenge for 2 000 000 steps where me and my friends contribute towards that goal. 

Is it possible?

[Druhue]

Y'all need to give up suggesting things. They just marked this thread as "reviewed by moderator" which means they're tired of people complaining and they dont actually read it.

[PyleStyle]

Yeah..sad, but true

Can we please get a customizable challenge in the app. I have other devices (Garmin) that allow you to set your own parameters duration etc so it shouldn’t be too difficult . There are clearly enough customers begging for this!!  Come on FIT bit. Get it together and keep your customers happy and loyal!! 

[Jgheron]

Challenge using goal, rather than steps. We have a diverse group with goals from 8 to 12 thousand, and just want the motivation to reach our goal, not beat someone else.

Percentage of goal

# days goal met this week

Allow custom challenges like 125 miles by Christmas. 175 miles by new years to share with and invite friends
